Application filed April! 26, 1922. Serial No. 556.650.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM ROBERTSON. a citizen of the United States,residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State .of

6 Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in WringerDrip Boards, of which the following is a specification.

The invention is designed to simplify and cheapen the construction ofdrip boards for 10 wringers. In carrying out the invention sheet metalis used and this is re-enforced and strengthened so that it may bereadily attached to the wringer and at the same time properly dispose ofthe water from the wringer. 1

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a portion of the wringer.

Fig. 2 a vertical section of the wringer.

Fig. 3 a section on the line 33 in Fig. 2. F' 4 a plan view of a cornerof the drip boal 1 marks the side stile of the wringer, 2 the top bar, 3and 4 the top and lower rolls of the wringer, 5 the wringer shafts, 6the bearings for the wringer, 7 one of the tension springs, 8 the springbar, and 9 the adjusting screws. These are of ordinary construetion.

Dri board pins 10 are driven in the side stiles 1n the usual manner. Thedrip board 11 has flanges 12 turned up at its sides. Side plates 13 arebent over at 14 enclosing the up-turned flange, the walls of the turn 14being pressed together on the flange 12. The

late 13 extends below the lower face of the ri board, thus forming adownwardly exten ing flange 15 at the sides of the drip board. Pinreceiving slots 16 are formed in the flange 15, the metal from the slotsat 17 bein turned inwardly against the bottom of the ard thus lockingthe side plates in place so that in cutting out the metal forming theslots 16 a key piece is formed at the same time. The front and rearedges of the board are turned at 18 and the portions of the flange 12adjacent to the edges of the board extend at an angle to theintermediate portions of the flange, thus stiflening these flanges and,of course the side plates follow the flanges.

Sto pins 19 are secured to the side flange and t ese engage steps 20 onthe frame.

Pins 21 are also provided which are adapted 65 to engage a locking bar23 swingingly mounted on pins 24 extending through projections 25 on theframe.

What I claim as new is 1. A. wringer drip board formed of a sheet metalplate with flanges at its sides; and side plates turned over the flangesand extending past the opposite face of the board forming flanges on theopposite side of the board from the first-mentioned flanges.

2. A wringer drip board formed of a sheet metal plate with up-turnedflanges at its sides; and side plates turned over the flanges andextending below the bottom of the board 7 forming downwardly extendingflanges, said flanges havi slits to form supporting pin slots therein,the metal between the slits being bent inwardly against the bottom ofthe board forming lugs for the side plates.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

WILLIAM ROBERTSON.
